A user interface with a main controller and subcontrollers nested within the main controller. The main controller refers to blueprint tables to instantiate and manage the subcontrollers. The subcontrollers are responsible for generating view components displayable in client devices. The main controller receives requests from client devices and manages the communications between subcontrollers, and between a subcontroller and a model of business data and logic. One or more subcontrollers and their respective views may form a container for data management on the screen. The main controller assembles the views from the subcontrollers into a page and transmits it to the client device. A user interface builder for defining blueprint tables is also disclosed.
Apparatus for building a user interface for a software application program, the apparatus comprising:
A repository comprising preconfigured layout shells for generating user interfaces for software application programs, the layout shells being independent of the software application programs, wherein a user can select a layout shell in the repository to generate a user interface.
A method of building a user interface for a software application program, the method comprising:
A computer program product, tangibly stored on a machine-readable medium, for building a user interface for a software application program, the program instructions including instructions operable to cause a computer to:
